Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis can be irritant in nature or allergic.

Moles
Moles (or nevi) are typically brown or skin colored spots on your skin. They can be flat or raised, and if a mole is cancerous it is called a melanoma. The ABCDEF rules that we use to detect melanoma are Asymmetry, Border Irregularity, Color change or different shades of color in one mole, Diameter larger than the head of pencil eraser (6mm), Evolving or changing mole, or just Funny looking compared to all of your other spots. Sometimes an abnormal mole could be an indicator of melanoma. A patient that has been diagnosed with a “dysplastic nevus” should schedule a yearly skin check because they are at higher risk for melanoma.
If you have a mole(s) that may need attention, contact our office to schedule an appointment

Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin condition that causes itchy, dry scaly patches on the face: typically eyebrows, nasolabial folds, ear creases and scalp. It can also affect other parts of the body and occur at any age. It is typically caused by a yeast on the skin that incites an inflammatory response in susceptible individuals.

Skin Cancer
Skin cancer will occur in one out of every five Americans in their lifetime. Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Malignant Melanoma can often be detected early during regular full body skin exams. During these exams, your skin will be examined for suspicious growths and you will be reassured about benign, common skin growths that occur with age. If concerning lesions are found, they will be biopsied for a dermatopathologist to diagnose, and a treatment plan will be created to align with results, if needed.
When concerned about spots, lesions or even discoloring on your skin, it is best to be proactive and contact our office to schedule an appointment for a full body exam.
